Preparation
Your nurse manager at the community care center is well
connected and frequently speaks to a variety of community
organizations and groups. She has noticed the good work you
are doing in your new care coordination role and respects your

group to gauge their interest in hearing from you, as a care
center representative, on a topic of interest to both you and your
prospective audience.
You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to
research a community organization or support group that might
be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related
to the coordination of care. Your manager has suggested the
following community organizations and support groups, but
acknowledges that the choice is yours.
